CREATIVITY AND IMAGINATION IN "COCOȘUL DE APĂ ȘI ALTE POVEȘTI" by MARTA COZMIN
CREATIVITY AND IMAGINATION IN "THE WATER ROOSTER AND OTHER STORIES" by MARTA COZMIN

Summary/Abstract: Very little has been written about Marta Cozmin’s work, and there has been even less talk about it, in literary circles, after her disappearance in 1990. Considered by the literary critic and historian Nicolae Manolescu as one of the few true creators of children’s literature in Romania, the writer and her works deserve a special place both in the consciousness of her past and present readers, as well as in the attention of critics, literary historians and those teaching children’s literature. Our study is intended to be, in a way, a reparative act and aims to shed some light on one of the best aesthetically produced volumes of children’s writings signed by the author,"The Water Rooster and Other Stories" (1971).
